CARSON, New, Jan. IA. - Senate

mously.

Assembly for correction or its history.
Assembly substitute for Harris
Interstate railroad bill came up for
consideration, but in reading one of
the amendments, where the word
"Bill' should occur, only the letter
"B" was found. This was clearly a
clerical error, but the Senate having
no authority to fill in the requisite
word, the document was sent back to
the Assembly for correction and COM
p~letion. This resolution, as amended,
contains all the salient points and
strength of the original, and will
doubtless pass the Senate tomorrow.
Senate bill No. 7, Powell's Fee bill,

nitely postponed.

five cents for rabbits; also, Senate
bill No. 2, providing for a safe keeping
of the securities of the State School
Fund, passed the Assembly.
AT 1890 the Assembly adjourned.
In the Senate to-day a member Of
fered a resolution that when this body
adjourn it be until Monday next.
When being asked his reason, he said
that no doubt all hands would be at
Stewards reception tonight, imbibing
bountiful bumpers Of the nectar of the
gods, and would not feel in a condition
for legislative business tomorrow.
The resolution was sternly voted down.
A similar resolution was introduced in
the Assembly, and was similarly sat
down on. The idea was rather fresh to
say the least.
